If you don’t see the template, open Macintosh Manager Preferences and make sure “Show
templates” is selected.

Macintosh Manager menu. In Mac OS 9, choose Preferences from the Edit menu.

In the Basic and Advanced panes, set options you want to use for the template, then
click Save.

Importing All Users

If you have a small number of users in your Mac OS X Server database, you may want to
import them to Macintosh Manager all at once. You can import up to 10,000 users with the
Import All feature.

To import all users:

1

In Macintosh Manager, click Users.

2

Click Import All.

An individual Macintosh Manager user account is created for each imported user. Depending
on the number of users imported, this process may take some time. You can also import
users individually or in groups.

If you have more than 10,000 users to import, you may want to consider importing users
from a text file.

Importing One or More Users

If necessary, you can import individual users or small groups of users. You must be using
Macintosh Manager Admin in Mac OS X in order to import one user at a time. You cannot
import one user at a time using Macintosh Manager on a Mac OS 9 computer.

To add one or more users to Macintosh Manager:

1

In Macintosh Manager, click Users.

2

Click Import.

3

If Workgroup Manager is not already open, a message about adding users appears. Click
Open to open Workgroup Manager.

4

In Workgroup Manager, click Users & Groups, then select Show Users & Groups List.

5

In the Users & Groups List, select the user or users you want to import, then drag them to
the Imported Users list in Macintosh Manager. You may need to rearrange the windows so
that you can see both lists.

If you can’t find a user in the Users & Groups List, that user may not be in your Mac OS X
Server directory.
